Annika did not start. I guess she slept in?

Nancy Lopez is playing a respectable even par through six holes.

Lorena carded a 67 to lead the way.

One putt. It looks like you anticipated Lorena's score after 17 holes. She birdied 18 and came in at 66.

Cool beans Jim. I think it is great Laura Davies is playing so well with an equal score.

Tough news about Annika and the ruptured disc in her back. Everyone will miss the Queen of Women's golf.

Too bad for Annika. That really is unfortunate.
Now what is Pressel's excuse? Her head is probably too big after her flukey win. Missing the cut after so much ridiculous hype!! Kleenex will be sponsoring her now. What a joke.

Morgan Pressel has a game based upon driving accuracy and not distance. The Kraft was set up to punish inaccuracy, a set up that would cost other leading players more than it would cost Pressel. On the other hand, the Ginn Open seems to be set up to reward distance, which makes it difficult for a short hitter to win, although somehow Lim did win it last year.

Pressel isn't even the best of the Super Sophs. She's going to miss a cut here and there with the quality of play on the tour rising fast. Lots of short hitters are doing fine this year; she was just off. She just had the greatest week of her life, so cut her some slack.

That is the thing, Miss Piggy isn't the best of the Super Sophs. She just got extremely lucky. There are many others that are extremely talented but are ignored. Perhaps they don't have a grandfather who is constantly attempting to promote her AND his washed up tennis playing son. I can't believe the press lets him go on about that. No one really cares!
It's ridiculous and annoying, like the whole family. I turn the channel whenever either of them appear.
